LCA -Tejas seen above test firing Russian R-73 WVR Missile
Reports are just coming in that India’s LCA Tejas which is racing against time to clear its final operating clearance (FOC) by mid-2016 has successfully passed its first hurdle and test fired Derby beyond-visual-range (BVR) missile in Ballistic Non-Guided mode.
Bengaluru-based Aeronautical Development Agency (ADA) currently is preparing series of guided and unguided testing of Derby beyond-visual-range (BVR) missile against Electronic and flying target in next few days which will last until March and as per well-informed sources four more missiles testing has been scheduled.
Israeli-developed Derby is a medium-range missile which will be used as a stop-gap measure before India’s own Astra BVR missile goes into production and becomes mainstay weapons system for India’s LCA Tejas.
Fresh Batch of Rafael Advanced Defence Systems developed Derby beyond-visual-range (BVR) missile were shipped to India earlier this year and India has procured nearly Dozen Derby’s BVRAAM for testing purpose since Derby BVR is only equipped with Six operational Sea Harrier VTOL jets with Indian Navy, which have a limited inventory of the said missile
